The bob is the weight at the end of the pendulum. For example, in a grandfather clock the ball at the end of the stick is the bob.
Describe at least three ways to modify a pendulum?
Three ways to modify a pendulum include: * Change the length * Change the size of the end-weight * Change the weight of the end-weight
Which factor affects the period of the pendulum?
The period of a pendulum is affected by the angle created by the swing of the pendulum, the length of the attachment to the mass, and the weight of the mass on the end of the pendulum.
The weight on a pendulum is called?
The weight on a pendulum is a 'mass' or a 'bob'.
What does a pendulum bob look like?
A bob is the weight on the end of a pendulum. It can take any shape, but is most often depicted as being round.
What is a good sentence for the word pendulum?
I have a pendulum clock or my dog's tail swung like a pendulum when he heard the jingle of his lead. Dictionary definition for pendulum- A weight hung from a fixed point so that it can swing freely backward and forward, esp. a rod with a weight at the end that regulates the mechanism of a clock.
What variable effects the frequency of a pendulum?

In Britain, it's a slang term for a schilling. In the field of physics, it's the weight at the end of a pendulum.
Time period of a pendulum?
For a heavy weight on the end of a weightless string ("a simple pendulum") the period is 2.pi.squareroot(L/g) where L is the length of the string and g is the acceleration due to gravity. If the weight of the pendulum is not wholly at the end (as in a heavy rod instead of a light string) then replace L by k2/L where L is (as before) the distance to the centre of gravity below the suspension point, and k is the radius of gyration of the whole suspended part, inculding the arm of the pendulum as well as any weights ("compound pendulum").
When a pendulum reaches the end of its swing' the energy within the pendulum is of what sort?
me
